I'm not really sure if it got disabled, but it can't really sense it, I also tried looking at it through system profiler but it keeps crashing when i open it, but i know this because i installed remote buddy and it wasn't sensing the infrared sensor so i guess it doesn't support it? or it got disabled, my mac os x install is 10.4.9, i did all the crap and everything is running fine, but damnit i need to get my remote working, and stupid ir port, grrr anyone know a fix?

The fix for this is installed mac os x 10.4.10 on your ATV
